Roadhouse Simulator, the brawling bar-management sim set in the universe of the 2-million-selling hit Gas Station Simulator, moves into its next stage on August 13 with a free playable demo on Steam, following the Prologue chapter released on May 19, 2026.
Players return to the same stretch of American highway made famous by Gas Station Simulator, this time trading fuel pumps for beer taps. Roadhouse Simulator puts you behind the bar of a run-down roadhouse where bikers, truckers, and troublemakers all want the same thing: a cold drink, and maybe a fight to go with it. Pour pints, break up brawls, and keep the regulars happy enough to keep coming back, all without letting the place fall apart around you.
The demo drops players straight into the chaos of a working night at the bar, giving them a hands-on taste of the game’s core loop before the full release later this year. Highlights include:
- Bar Tension & Gang Fights: Keep the peace, or don’t; brawls break out fast, and it’s on you to manage the fallout.
- Gang Reputation & Influence: Stay on the good side of the regulars, because their loyalty (or grudges) shape how the night goes.
- Serving Beer: Keep the taps flowing and the customers happy, one pint at a time.
- Washing Dishes: The unglamorous side of bar life, because a filthy roadhouse doesn’t stay in business.
- Cleaning Restrooms: Not every job behind the bar is a fight. Some of them are just gross.
- Placing & Smashing Furniture: Decorate the place your way, then watch it get demolished the moment a fight breaks out.
- Dodging the Cop: Keep the law off your back while the night gets rowdier by the hour.
“Gas Station Simulator taught players how to survive the road — Roadhouse Simulator is what happens when the road comes inside and orders a drink,” said Lucjan Mikociak, Studio Head at DRAGO Entertainment. “The Prologue was just the first pour. With the demo, we’re opening the doors wider and letting players see what a full night at the bar really looks like.”
Following the demo, Roadhouse Simulator is set to launch in full on Steam later in 2026. For all the latest updates, follow DRAGO on X/Twitter and Facebook
